Two Bell's beers ranked top in the nation by Zymurgy readers
Once again, the readers of Zymurgy, the magazine from the American Homebrewers Association, voted Two Hearted one of the top two best beers in America.
This is the fourth year in a row Two Hearted has taken the No. 2 spot as part of the 11th annual Best Beers in America issue.
Hopslam is also on the list at No. 4.
One reader called Two Hearted “a symphony of Centennial hops” while another referred to it as her “go-to for hop happiness.”
Thank you to everyone – we are truly honored.
The July/August 2013 issue will be available at the Bell’s General Store.
